Description

A documentary film revealing the true story behind Israel’s "Canada Park" – a story of dispossession, destruction and continuing displacement.

In 1967, the three Palestinian villages of Imwas, Yalo and Beit Nouba in the Latroun enclave of the West Bank were razed to the ground after Israel occupied the territory. Today, the residents of those villages remain displaced and barred from returning, whileIsrael treats the land as if it were part of Israel and refuses to acknowledge the Palestinian history of the area. Israeli citizens enjoy barbecues and picnics in the Jewish National Fund’s "Canada Park", oblivious to the crimes perpetrated in their names on that very land.
